Vermonster #3

A Vermonster always seems to happen on bloatedly-full stomaches 10 minutes before closing time. #3 occurred Thursday, September 8th at the East Village Ben & Jerry's with O, ob and be - directly after a big meal of sushi. They unfortunately didn't finish the entire Vermonster in the 10 minutes before closing, mainly due to the fact the Vermonster-makers made it with extra large scoops of ice cream, the brownies were on top of the ice cream and thus were harder to eat, AND apparently ice cream after sushi is a no-no. be claims the rice really filled him up and expanded in his stomach.

There was much more at stake with this Vermonster because apparently, if you break the record of 2 people in 15 minutes, you get a certificate for a free Vermonster. The staff that night were really excited about it and offered them the certificate if they could finish it by closing time ... but at 10 minutes they still had about 4 scoops to go, which they finished outside.

For those who don't know what a Vermonster is, it's a bucket containing:

20 scoops of ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet
4 bananas
4 ladles of hot fudge or caramel
3 large chocolate chip cookies
1 huge fudgey brownie
10 scoops of chopped walnuts
2 scoops of 4 toppings, your choice
topped with real whipped cream

I have to say it never ceases to amaze me. The most ice cream i can eat in one sitting is 2 small scoops!

(For the record, Vermonster #1 with be, O, Darian and Mas was finished in 10 minutes. #2 with be, O and Jude took 13.)
